The older I get, the more I realize-this life is hard! I feel like all around me I see friends and families having a hard time. There are so many trials that we can face in this life. Often I feel helpless because there is little to nothing that I can do to make these trials go away for the people that I love. I feel like the only thing I am left with is to try to make their day a little bit better, to let them know that someone cares. So today I have a gift idea for anyone who needs a lift of their spirits, a bright spot in their day. It’s a bucket full of sunshine! (With a free printable tag.)
Bucket Full of Sunshine Gift Idea:
It’s very simple to make. Just like my teal birthday gift idea that I did recently, I just went to Target and wandered the store looking for yellow items. It was surprisingly easy to find things to go in it!
Here’s what my package had in it:
And here’s a list of ideas to get you started in your shopping:
- Yellow candy-lemonheads, M&Ms, Swedish Fish, Starbursts, etc.
- Nail polish
- Candles
- Lotions
- Golden Oreos
- Socks
- Planners/notebooks
- Balloons and party supplies
- Washi tape or craft supplies
- Lemonade
- Earrings or necklace
- Crayons or markers or pens
Or anything else you can find that you think your friend will love! Just have fun with it.
Then here is a free printable tag for you to use. Right click and save it to your computer and then print it: (open it in a program on your computer that will allow you to size it how you want and things. I use pages on my Mac.)
Hope you have fun with this!

Love all of your printables and have told my neices about it for their kids. Thinking of your colorful idea, it popped into my head “orangert you the greatest” Have a great day!
Thank you so much for the great ideas and projects you share! What lovely gifts to brighten someone’s day!
the last couple days have been very hard for me. you know, those blue days that you feel like your heart has been ripped out of your chest. well, just when i convinced myself that nobody cares, in walks my sweet husband of 35 years with a bouquet of flowers. all is well with the world. there is no one in the world i would rather spend my life with and i hope to spend every day for the rest of my life, long or short, making sure he knows that.
Yes! Those small things can mean SO much!
Amber that is a wonderful idea, and now if you add a bible verse or two, like I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me. just one that pops up, but it gives them words from GOD himself that may give that extra special word. GOD bless.
Great idea!
Thanks for the idea! I wish I could attach a picture of the ones I made! I found these yellow TY FRIZZYS that were perfect.
